I know. I know. Now is not the time to talk about this. Too soon. He could have used anything as a weapon, will we ban those too. Thoughts and prayers will make sure this doesn’t happen again.

Give it another 2 or 3 minutes then we can resume with the partisan trolling.

Why would you ever puss out and thumbs down something when you're making such effective arguments with random dead kids posts. That's the saddest part, you can't admit to being a passive aggressive ######.

Show me one post you think I thumbs down
Feb 14, 2018, 10:17 PM

I can give it a thumbs up and prove I’m not the thumbs down culprit.
Can you do the same?

A) I don't really care at this point.
Feb 14, 2018, 10:33 PM

B) I'm not sure what you mean by "Can you do the same", but if you're talking about proving I didn't thumbs down, it would be easy since it's impossible for non-donors to do.

I probably don't. I do take issue with people who seem to just be waiting for something bad to happen to jump out of the woodwork and post tired talking points.....and that's on both sides of the argument.

Frustrated that nobody attempts to find a solution. Surely there’s something we can do. Baby steps. Anything.
Hey parents: If your kid is causing trouble at school, don’t give them access to your guns.

Engaged, involved, and effective parenting doesn't seem to enter the equation in many of these situations at all.
If this guy can make the types of posts he was making supposedly on social media, and no one, especially his parents, step in, there are too many people asleep at the wheel who shouldn't be.

Focus on high capacity magazines
Feb 14, 2018, 10:11 PM

Let people keep their guns. Figure out a way to slow down the reload or how many bullets can be shot in a short time period.
Appears that banning ‘assault rifles’ won’t do much even though they’ve been guilty in many recent and high profile massacres. Plenty of other guns can be just as deadly.
Also require a training and safety every few years. Part of the ‘well regulated militia’ concept.
I don’t understand why people are okay that this keeps happening without attempting solutions.
What are your thoughts? Or should we keep the status quo?

The problem is, everything you are proposing is a horrific violation of people's human rights. So, thanks for playing, but no.
Stop focusing on guns, they aren't the problem.

is limiting the size of a magazine a violation of one's human rights?!?!?
Are you saying we have a human right to have large capacity magazines?
If so, then don't we also have a human right to own 50 caliber machine guns and hand grenades?

Any infringement on the 2nd Amendment is a violation of a crucial human right. We have the right to forge tools to protect ourselves. The creation of tools is human nature, as we humans cannot survive in nature without this ability. The right to protect yourself manifests itself in what tools modern technology can provide. 30 round magazines and semi automatic rifles are that standard now, just as the musket was 200 years ago, and the sword 1000 years ago.
And you can already own .50 cal rifles and hand grenades, if you can afford the tens of thousands of dollars it costs to acquire them.
As a matter of fact, back during the 1700's, people owned muskets, puckle guns (an early Gatling gun), primitive grenades, and cannons. I recall a story of a church in Boston that owned their own private cannon to fend off natives and later the British. Merchant ships were privately owned vessels that were outfitted with dozens of cannons to fend off pirates, privateers, and naval ships from unfriendly nations.

"Any infringement on the 2nd Amendment is a violation of a crucial human right."
By that statement, you are saying that the US is the only country that provides this "human right". You seem to be defining a human right much more differently than I do.
Do you believe there should be any limitation by the government on what kind of weapon you can own/buy?
"And you can already own .50 cal rifles and hand grenades"
I didn't say "rifle" I said "machine gun" and the common citizen cannot own a 50 cal machine gun. Also, hand grenades are Title II weapons and many states do not allow ownership of Title II weapons and then only with a license.

United Nations Human Rights don't outline guns
Feb 15, 2018, 6:07 PM

The closest is how one interprets these example rights. Arguments can go both ways - I have the right to be safe while high capacity weapons endanger that versus - I have the right to acquire weapons to keep me safe
Example UN Rights: 3. The Right to Life. We all have the right to life, and to live in freedom and safety 5. No Torture. Nobody has any right to hurt us or to torture us 14. The Right to Seek a Safe Place to Live. If we are frightened of being badly treated in our own country, we all have the right to run away to another country to be safe 17. The Right to Your Own Things. Everyone has the right to own things or share them. Nobody should take our things from us without a good reason

Weapons to combat the deep state.
Realistically it doesn’t matter at this point, not sure why this is News. State or local Gov’t will not do anything in my lifetime.
Are dead children in schools in the Ole USA shocking. Are 50 plus dead on the Vegas strip unexpected. Not really.

Guns have been around since before schools

What is driving people to gun down innocents in schools or other public venues. What else in society correlates with the increase in occurrence? Does is coincide with the internet, social media, GMO's, enriching foods, cell phones, the Gamecocks first bowl win?
This didn't happen before Columbine. That's what we need to figure out. Not throwing silly policies at guns.
